Mock the controversy

You should be watching the Daily Show anyway, but next week should be extra-special:

For one full week, "The Daily Show" goes in-depth, around, through and quite possibly under, one of the hottest hot-button issues facing our nation: evolution. It's the accepted theory on the origin of life by an overwhelming majority of the world's biologists, but maybe they're all wrong. What's so great about the scientific method anyway? "Evolution Schmevolution" will explore:
  • What other theories are out there?
  • Who's on the frontlines of this debate?
  • Should your child's curriculum really be decided by experts in their respective fields?
Though, I must point out, the press release has a factual error:
The Emmy and Peabody Award-winning "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" was launched in the summer of 1996.
While the Daily Show did start in 1996, Jon Stewart started hosting in 1999, which is when the show's title changed to "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart".

So don't believe the Stewart-creationists -- there's fossil evidence proving Craig Kilborn is Jon's ancestor.
